Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical compliance gap under MCL 380.1308b and new statewide emergency response terminology mandates effective July 1, 2026. Absent exercises, audits, and reliable mass notification—compounded by documented outages in the current city-level system—expose students, staff, and the institution to serious operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
The July 1, 2026 compliance deadline creates immediate urgency, and aligned grant programs (SVPP, HSGP, BRIC) offer clear funding paths for emergency communications and preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current grant window reduces local budget burden while closing the most critical safety and compliance gap identified.
Mass Notification System Modernization for School Safety
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently depends on a shared municipal notification platform with documented outages, creating a single point of failure for emergency communications. Combined with an absent Emergency Operations Plan and overdue compliance requirements under state mandate (MCL 380.1308b), this gap poses significant risk to student and staff safety.
The opportunity
Active grant programs—including SVPP, HSGP, and BRIC—directly support emergency communications and mass notification investments, providing a clear funding path with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance deadlines, closes a critical safety gap, and positions the school ahead of the statewide emergency response terminology mandate effective July 2026.
Strengthen Staff Credential Security Practices
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Staff password and credential management practices are undocumented, creating a potential cybersecurity vulnerability across school systems. Without standardized controls, sensitive student and staff data may be at risk, and the school's growing IT investment underscores the need for consistent security baselines.
The opportunity
Increased E-Rate utilization and an annual IT and software budget signal readiness for technology investment in the current fiscal cycle. Addressing credential management now reduces breach risk, supports data governance compliance, and aligns with existing technology spending priorities.
